Slept in a real bed, Ahh! A quick walk to the Farmer’s Market. Our son wanted “Pain au Chocolate” and Deb was all in for that. Not a chocolate lover (especially at breakfast), I went for the Rhubarb/Strawberry Tart.
The whole trip evolved around delivering a ship model. I had made a shipping container for it that probably would not make it past TSA, so it was hand carried by Deb’s Delivery Service the full 3,000 miles. We had the big reveal yesterday, and it made it unscathed. Wahoo!
In the afternoon, we went to Carmel Valley, which is a tiny town with about 30 wineries with tasting rooms, interspersed with a dozen restaurants, art shops and, of course, an Olive Oil and Balsamic vinegar store. Sampling olive oil in a little cup is interesting and somewhat off putting. Sampling the balsamic vinegar was more straightforward. We are having some shipped home.
After two wine tastings, and purchasing a red and a white wine for our next visit (see how we plan ahead!), we returned to Salinas for an Italian dinner. The restaurant that we have been to was closed, so we went to Patria (just down the street). Best Italian food we have eaten in years.
Tomorrow, we start our trip home. We’ll spend the night at the SFO Hyatt before flying out.
